About half a quarter of an hour later, the disciple returned with a middle-aged man and introduced him to Ian Song: "This is Deacon Guo."
"Greetings, Deacon Guo!"
Ian Song smiled and gave a polite bow.
"Mm." Joel Guo nodded coolly. "All four of you, please follow me."
Soon, Joel Guo led Ian into a guest hall, where a female disciple brought over a few cups of fragrant tea.
Joel Guo took a sip of tea, set down his cup, and spoke unhurriedly: "May I ask what brings Young Master Huang here today?"
"May I ask what your official position is, Deacon Guo?" Ian asked.
Joel Guo's expression changed at once, his tone turning cold. "I serve as Outer Sect deacon of the Origin Return Sect."
"Get someone who can actually make decisions, preferably your Sect Master himself!" Ian said calmly.
Joel Guo's face grew even colder. "Our Sect Master is extremely busy. If you have no important business, Young Master Huang, it's best not to disturb him."
Ian called out again, and Old Ox immediately withdrew his aura.
As the pressure lifted, Joel Guo collapsed to his knees before the elderly white-haired man. "Disciple Joel Guo greets the Old Ancestor."
"Mm, you may leave now," the elderly man nodded.
"Yes, sir!"
Joel Guo quickly left the guest hall.
May I ask how to address this young friend?
The elderly white-haired man smiled at Ian. At first, his attention was entirely on Old Ox and the other two; after all, having three Martial Saints arrive at the Origin Return Sect was unnerving. But as he calmed down, he noticed something even more shocking: all three Martial Saints were standing behind a young man.
To have Martial Saints as subordinates—this young man's background was simply unfathomable.
"I am Leon Huang, a Core Disciple of the Pristine Way Sect," Ian replied as he slowly stood and cupped his fists to the elderly man.
"Pristine Way Sect?" The elderly man was momentarily stunned. When did Pristine Way suddenly produce three Martial Saints?
